Abstract: An existing air-cooled binary geothermal power plant in northern Nevada is studied. The current performance of the plant is analyzed with an emphasis on the effects of seasonal climate changes. ...

Abstract: Performance evaluation of a 12.8-MW single-flash design geothermal power plant in Northern Nevada is conducted using actual plant operating data, and potential improvement sites are identified. ...

Abstract: Exergy destruction associated with the operation of a solar heating system is evaluated numerically via an exergy cascade. As expected, exergy destruction is dominated by heat transfer across ...

Abstract: Geothermal energy has been used for power generation, space and process heating, and to a lesser extent, space cooling. However, it is rarely used for cogeneration. This paper shows how a ...

Abstract: Residential winter thermal energy storage features water encapsulated into 3-in. (7.6-cm) diameter plastic pipes, mounted into conventional stud wall cavities of a house. With an air solar ...
